Miyazaki is best boy.

PS4fag here. The patch will be finished in like 10 to 15 minutes. If someone else doesn't beat me to it, I'll post pics to confirm or debunk this plume business.

This thread is now blessed by Gravelord Nito and the Pardoners of Velka.

Checking some stuff right now. Vordt's Great Hammer now has 110 frostbite. Up from 60. So that's something.

UGS buff seems to be in the momentum like maces. A single combo takes you across the room in firelink.

Ultra heavy stamina buff is minimal. Went from 4 swings to 5 swings, but that's more than I ever expected of From so ehh...

Even if it was, that wouldn't mean we wouldn't have the plume. We have Artorias's plume, and that's definitely Artorias's hair.

>>171901789
Not even, it's a trivial thing to add. What it means is that they're willing to compromise their original artistic vision of the game in order to directly address the desires of the fans, which is big because that has obviously not been the case in the past.

>I agree, but i dont see how that means gwyn had an ember form or how he was somehow stronger as a LoC then as the LoS

I'm not him, lords of cinder are obviously weaker than a normal lord, embers are trash

I have an issue with how armor works in general. If only it worked similarly to the previous games, where i actually felt like i had some weight, The equip burden cutoffs were better too, imo.

The patch is a step in the right direction, but i don't think just buffing heavier armor somewhat will fix it.

Spoilers or not, I can't wait until the datamining begins to find out if stuff like silver knight weapons or giants armor is coming in the DLC.

Thanks for the laugh. These games have been reusing assets out the ass ever since Dark Souls lifted half its shit straight out of Demon's Souls.

Problem with that is rolling is ridiculously powerful in DS3 and armor can't technically be made into a meaningful defensive element without breaking down some of the game balance in every area.

>>171903715

Lure him outside, his AI should break. You can kick him off the cliff.

So drag him to the entrance. Then stand on the edge of the semi circle by the pillars. As he goes to attack you get behind him then just equip the weapon with the lowest stamina cost and r1 away.

His AI bugs out and he'll just try and walk back. Just keep r1ing him till he falls off the cliff.

The rolling in dks3 pisses me off.

It worked fine already, but trying to mishmash bloodborne speed into souls really didn't work IMO. Now you can roll a dozen times with a lot of i- frames, and armor choice doesn't matter much. It's my main issue with the game, among other smaller things.

>>171903714

I would be fine with higher poison damage in general in exchange for them adding the rusted iron ring to the game. It would make the swamps much more bearable.

Alright faggots, going to start a new game this weekend for the DLC. What build should I go for and what weapons/armor should I nab?

>>171904050
It would've worked better if they brought over the locked on dodge-stepping from BB. Though overall the amount of I-frames should've been toned down and rolling should've either just costed more stamina in general or spamming rolls had a increasing stamina cost if there wasn't a long enough pause between them.

>>171904050
The i-frames are the same as every other game. DS2 actually let you get more. The problem is the total lack of recovery frames, so you're almost invincible back to back to back, and the tiny stamina cost, which lets you panic roll forever.

Hmm, maybe. The side-stepping would be okay if it wasn't BB fast, but something more natural. Maybe armor weight/burden could determine that?

Some more tests on heavy assuming others didn't do it yet. Done with 66 STR to see how max STR affects pre and post patch AR:

Exile Greatsword: 513 (pre), 634 (post)
Lothric Knight Greatsword: 595 (pre), 659 (post)
Greatlance: 415 (pre), 483 (post)

At 99 STR going down the list: 693 exile, 699 LKGS, 524 greatlance.

Read the thread. They added the plume to Ornstein's helmet

>>171904954
It's not really a big deal, but it's the main reason i've never worn Ornstein's set.

The helm just looked dumb without the plume.

Any tips for a Negan cosplay in DaS3? Can't figure out what to pair with what.

No, no. The thing is that different model skeletons have different visual effect category "regions" that tell the game where those visual effects are supposed to go. If you apply the visual effect for Sulyvahn's weapons on the player with the usual skeleton, it doesn't know where to put them and so they're put at the model's origin point on the floor. If you have Sulyvahn's skeleton though, it can see where his swords should be and properly place them.

It's the same reason you can't put glowing red eyes on the player normally.

>>171905107
Mainly because the plume has never been on the helmet, going back to DaS1 when you could first get it. It's partially an autism thing, but the lack of plume also majorly ruined the fashion of the helmet for literal years.

>>171905423

If the weapon had roughly equal scaling in both categories before, then it's still better Refined.

If it was clearly better in one or the other, odds are that it'll benefit more from Heavy or Sharp now.

>>171905703

refined is good for quality builds, all this update means is that if you're focusing on STR or DEX you can actually go heavy/sharp now.

Dark Souls 3 refers to him as "a knight".
Dark Souls 1 is silent on the matter of his rank besides naming him the Executioner of Anor Londo, but did mention he had unfulfilled aspirations of joining the Four Knights of Gwyn.

Thus he was actually a lower-ranking knight of Anor Londo in addition to being the city's executioner, but never got to the position he actually wanted because the Chosen Undead went and killed him.
